The 14-member collective is a diverse group of singers, rappers, producers, engineers, designers, a photographer and a webmaster. Several members are black or multiracial. Many Brockhampton songs aren’t appropriate for radio. And a large majority of the group's fans are boys. Brockhampton insists on being called a boy band because, although not typical, that’s what they are.

And on Saturday night, Brockhampton performed with the synchronization and cohesiveness that every other boy band could only wish to possess.

The Los Angeles-based group, comprised of men in their early 20s, formed in San Marcos, Texas, after meeting each other in a Kanye West online fan forum. For its Indianapolis debut, the band performed for two hours, playing songs from a trilogy of albums: "Saturation," "Saturation II" and "Saturation III."

All three albums, which progressively improved, were released in 2017 from Question Everything, Inc., Brockhampton's own record label. Unlike other rappers — and boy bands — the group confronts controversial topics like homophobia and sexual assault in their songs.

Saturday's show began with “Boogie,” a hype-up track recently performed live on MTV's "TRL." While “Boogie” is arguably the ultimate fan favorite, the Indianapolis audience didn’t lose steam throughout the band’s 19-song show, which included other standout tracks such as “Gummy," "Gold" and Stupid."

Each track seemed to naturally shine a light on a different member of Brockhampton. When not in the spotlight, group members sat on chairs or a couch that made up a living-room-style stage set.

In between songs, the group’s members would sometimes goof around and push each other to tell jokes. They started a “Roberto” chant, recognizing Robert Ontinient, Brockhampton's web developer and producer whose Spanish spoken word can be heard on multiple tracks. Laughing, Kevin Abstract — a founding member of the group — mentioned the chant sounded more like “rubber toe.”

It was only when Ciaran Ruaridh McDonald, known as "Bearface," walked out and strapped on his guitar that the rest of the group temporarily left the stage. The producer and singer from Belfast, Ireland, changed up the pace and sang “Summer” and “Team,” the final tracks of the band’s most recent two albums.

The group ended the night with “Star,” which they played four times in a row. Kevin Abstract led the audience in a “Brockhampton” chant each time before repeating the song. The fans in the Egyptian Room would’ve stayed there all night, jumping along to “Star” until their legs gave out.

Brockhampton’s “Love Your Parents” tour began in December and will end March 8 in Phoenix. This spring, the group will make appearances at a handful of large-scale music festivals, including Coachella, Boston Calling and Bonnaroo.
